Actually, my personal reason for gaining weight is that I am a 9/11 First Responder who is on massive amounts of medications and recently had an increase in steroids which increased my weight which was verified with my Pulmonary Doctor.

That being said, Addicts are prone to relapses. Because somebody has a relapse does not mean they don't want to stay clean. The worse thing one can do, is insult and addict. If a person who falls off the wagon and somebody degrades them, chances are they won't try again. Statistics prove that 60 percent of people relapse. It has nothing to do with them not to want to stay away from their chosen addiction.

I am a food addict. However, an increase of medication caused me to hold Water weight which no amount of dieting would get off. I have two issues. Gaining 4 lbs when in the past 6 months I have been losing does not (in my case) mean I am not serious. One has to look at the reason for the weight gain. And yes. If a person over ate doesn't mean they aren't ready for the surgery. Addicts relape. A good doctor would find out why.

We can agree to disagree. Once an addict, always an addict. People relapse after sobriety of a century. True addicts know they must fight to stay free from their addiction every day and are always an addict. I can give you reading material from medical journals should you like, many written by myself being an expert on the subject having worked for the NYS Department of Health dealing with this very issues and writing policy for over 20 years

I don't have time for a website lol. I document everything on my FB pages. My surgery is February 19th. I put a deadline to everybody who wants to hire me to put together a remix package for their single or want me to promote an upcoming single that I will be out of the office because I am getting Bariatric surgery and plan accordingly. I am in a business (the music business) where part of it is looks. I am 350 lbs. I don't fit in. I also own news radio stations. It was a journey for me to get approved for surgery and I documented it to show people the problems of the health care system. I am using my surgery to educate others. I used to hide and nobody knew what I looked like because I am fat and I don't want my fatness to hurt my artists. Now I am using this to educate others.
